Jim Kellison was one of the pioneers in the world of kit car construction and his cars have recently achieved respectable prices. We have been publishing these cars for years, ever since people were uncertain whether to buy a fully functional and in good condition at the price of $ 12,000: remember that everyone is good… Read More Never assembled: 1965 Kellison Astra X-300 GT
Here is one of the 1091 Giulia Spider Veloce built: this is the rarest version of the Alfa Romeo Spiders in the decade between the mid-50s and mid-60s. This version summarized the best of Alfa’s experience with the spiders, made up to that moment: 1600 cc engine capacity, dedicated cams, two Weber DCOE 2 carburettors,… Read More Oregon red: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
Although in general it is believed that Zagato worked only on the bodies they built, in some cases he limited their job to improve the details of the existing cars. Obviously, the first candidates were the Fiat which, at the time, alone made up almost half of the Italian car market: 80% of the Fiat… Read More On demand: 1965 Fiat 600D by Zagato
The last, but not least, today’s car is the grail of the Alfa cars made in the 60s: it is simply impossible that a fan of classic Italian cars would not want it in his garage. This is obviously a Giulia Sprint GTA, the noble sister of the Giulia GT, built to be light, and… Read More Tricolor: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
Do you remember when a few years ago we published a similar dark green car, in identical conditions, and it was on sale for months at almost a quarter of the price of this? Those good times, right? Good times indeed, and yet even then we wondered why an Italian GT of the 60s, rare… Read More The white one: 1965 Ghia 1500 GT Coupé
Every Giulia Spider Veloce that we will find, and which do not have a bewildering price, will be published on Classic Virus. In this case the price is there, let’s see if there is also a car. At first glance, this car is a perfect candidate for a restoration, and one who says it is… Read More Black hood: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
Dry, not disassembled, complete: this is the identikit of the perfect candidate for an integral restoration. In this case that’s about the fastest of the Giulietta / Giulia Spider lineage. This car (chassis #AR390775) is indeed a Veloce from ’65 which shared its type 121 engine with the Sprint Speciale: this is already a great… Read More Big Island red: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
We often find “Outlaw” style sales advertisements for 356, ie the application of the hot rodding concept to European cars, especially to Porsche cars. However, these Porsche-based hotrods often have one of these two problems (and sometimes both): either they are too expensive, or they are poorly made. The difficult thing is, therefore, certainly not… Read More Da Fruit: 1965 Porsche 356 C “Outlaw”
Where did Alfa Romeo go? Where did its ability to make fans dream and to generate respect in the competition opponents? These are obvious questions of which we know the answer well. The answer is complex and simple at the same time: companies are made of people, and when the right people disappear… Read More Two times four: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
The 330 2+2 series has long been one of the least sought after of the whole Ferrari family; until 10 years ago you could take one of these in excellent condition for a third of the asking price of this one here. But we all know that remembering the past is useless, unless it serves… Read More Maroon twelve: 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2
